![]() As long as we can have a little bit of trust and see if we can get this thing rolling a little bit, we'll be great. Because you can't walk into a room and instantly have a relationship. My only request to the guys was let's just go through this and work at building this relationship. "And I think that part allowed us a door to be open to begin the relationship. And just watching film with them and then just getting to know them. Sitting down, showing them how the offense has worked over the last 15 years. And then really, just like you were saying, recruiting them. So sitting down with those guys and a multitude of other players when it was really just Kalen and I in Seattle - right away, the first part of December was really just Kalen and I in Seattle, talking to guys, meeting them, spending time. They were going on their third head coach. I spent the better part of the first ten days recruiting Rome Odunze and Ja'Lynn Polk. ![]() "Well, the recruiting right away was very busy. And that was going to continue to happen if I stayed put." And I felt like I was still in a position of growth. "And then as far as Kalen, I think you just always want to work with people that you know you're growing. So at that point, especially last season, I just really felt like, you know, everything that we had invested with the players and the kids that we had coming back, the talks I had with those kids, like Troy and Rome and Michael just trying to get those guys to stay and be part of it for another year was important. ![]() I feel like I do have a lot of input with what happens with the program. And I wanted to be able to be more collaborative with the people I was going to be with and have more control of the situation. My style of offense and the things I wanted to accomplish, that I didn't want a bunch of restrictions on that. And those were things that were important to me. But I think when you're looking at wherever you're working, you want to be somewhere where, number one, you feel like you can make an impact. "Yeah, everybody probably has a different answer for those things. So I think there's a lot of freedom in it." There's a lot, obviously, that Kalen has to tend to. And then just knowing that he doesn't have to have the pressure of doing that that there can be trust both ways as far as letting me take care of the offense. Only that there would be just a constant flow of information of: Hey, I see this, I see that. "So I've always felt the ability to stay creative and things like that. And I think that relationship has just stayed status quo. So prior to being the coordinator, Kalen and I working together, coming up with solutions and thinking of ideas and ways to be creative offensively. And obviously, long before I was calling plays, I was sitting in that room with him as his sounding board. I think Kalen's always been good at that. I think that part of that is the relationship that you have with the person you're working with can be either that of a sounding board or a critic. It can be a little bit brutal or it can be awesome. "Well, I think it depends on the relationship. Get football and recruiting scoop on your favorite college team for $1 for first month.īelow is everything Grubb said Wednesday. Washington won that meeting 27-20 and didn't allow a single sack. The Sugar Bowl is a rematch of last season's Alamo Bowl. So I think trying to wear them down a little bit and get our guys to have the right mindset and physical mentality to just keep them moving and try to wear them out." I think Texas does a phenomenal job with the technique, and how hard those guys play, but they don't play the whole game. I think they've got great front players, but I'm always amazed with how well the front is coached. You got to keep bodies on him all the time," Grubb said. The topic has come up frequently ahead of the Sugar Bowl and Wahsington offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb mapped out how the Huskies can excel against Longhorns All-American defensive lineman T'Vondre Sweat and Co. Continuing to do so in the College Football Playoff will be paramount as the Huskies take on Texas’ talented defensive line. Washington’s offensive line has done an excellent job protecting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. ![]()
